AdAB views plan

Mid-day break considered Bleary-eyed s tudents may find

time for that second cup of Kletz coffee if a Student Congress pro-posal for a mid-day break between class periods is approved by the Administrative Affairs Board.

At an AdAB meeting last Thursday, Registrar Jon Huiskens said that the schedule change was "premature for the spring semes-ter" and recommended that its implementat ion be postponed until the fall of 1974.

He explained that this delay will permit Board members 4 t to gather sufficient faculty and stu-dent feedback" and afford them time t o consider the many impli-cations of the change.

ACCORDING TO A m e m o prepared by Huiskens, the pro-posed break "will provide a meet-ing time for convocations, com-mittee and board meet ings" and would " improve campus-wide communica t ion ."

The Board offered two plans for altering the present class schedule to accommodate the mid-day break. One alternative would affect only the Tuesday-Thursday schedule while the o the r would provide for at least a half-hour break every day.

HUISKENS EMPHASIZED that under bo th proposals all classes would still begin at 8 :30 a.m. and the revised schedule would not result in any upset of the present chapel schedule.

Students petition Saga to reopen Durfee for dinner

by Lynn Gruenwald

Durfee Dining Hall might once again accommodate those stu-dents wishing to eat dinner and avoid the noisy Phelps cafeteria maze.

It has been proposed to the Food Service Commit tee , as a result of a s tudent meeting wi th Saga officials last Monday, that Durfee be closed for lunch on Tuesday and Thursday when stu-dent a t tendance is lower. This would enable it t o open f rom 5 to 6 p.m. on those nights.

The proposal would open Dur-fee at no extra cost. It would be run at first on a trial basis some time af ter fall break.

Other alternatives which might allow Durfee to be opened for dinner are to charge s tudents a small fee for each meal, or t o set up a co-op system, whereby those s tudents who eat d inner at Durfee would work in the kitchen on a volunteer basis.

According to Director of F o o d Service Jesse Newkirk, Durfee would cost $30 in labor to run for 45 minutes every night. "I t would mean that the s tudents would pay extra for the service and the quie t a tmosphere . "

At present, Durfee is open weekdays for an h o u r and 15 minutes at luncht ime, feeding f rom 150 t o 235 students per meal.

The proposed Tuesday-Thursday schedule calls for a one and one-half hour lapse between classes f rom 11:30 a.m.-l p.m. All other class periods would be lengthened by 30 minutes, result-ing in the elimination of the cur-rent periods two, six and nine.

HUISKENS EXPLAINED that the longer class periods would encourage the scheduling of three-hour courses on Tuesday and Thursday and also eliminate cer-tain schedule conflicts now hin-dering some students .

The al ternate proposal would provide a one-half hour break at 11:30 a.m. every Monday-Wednes-day-Friday in addit ion to the one and one-half hour lapse between classes on Tuesdays and Thurs-days. According to this scheme, the current four th through ninth periods would begin one-half hour later with the last period ending at 5 :50 p.m. instead of 5 :20 p.m.

HUISKENS admit ted that the revised MWF schedule could conflict with activities in the sports program. But he added, " T h e coaches could push practice time to 4 p . m . "

Dean for Academic Affairs Morette Rider expressed fear that bo th proposals would also impair the scheduling of four-hour cours-es, citing the f reshmen English requirement , calculus, and pre-calculus.

OTHER Board members voiced concern that the break would result in an overload of s tudents

at the two dining halls during the lunch hours.

AdAB chairman George Ralph, associate professor of theater , an-nounced that copies of the two proposals are being mailed to all faculty members and resident ad-visors for evaluation.

Ralph also appointed a special commit tee of two students and two faculty members to assist Huiskens in examining the Board's proposals. Serving on this commit-tee are s tudents Dan Dethmers and Terry Robinson Associate Professor of Psychology, David Meyers, and Robert Cecil, asso-ciate professor of music.

Plans for a coffee house that have been formulat ing since last May could soon become reality. Through the offices of Dean of Students Rober t DeYoung and Director of Campus Life Dave Vanderwel, sophomore Stew Gal-loway has been working with o ther students to bring a new type of recreation/relaxation area to Hope.

IN ORDER TO o f fer the stu-dent an alternative to the Kletz, Galloway approached DeYoung last semester with the idea of a coffee house. Since then Galloway has been working directly with DeYoung, Vanderwel and Jeff Gray of the Ministry of Christ 's People to bring the innovation into existence.

Af te r working in a coffee house in New York, Galloway decided one would also be a valu-able asset for the Hope commu-nity. Galloway said a coffee house would satisfy a "s tudent need" for a study area and relaxing area with a "di f ferent a tmosphere than the Kletz." Galloway cont inued, "A coffee house would be to the Kletz what a quiet evening at home would be to Burger King."

"WE WANT TO provide a place with a quiet a tmosphere where a s tudent can go to study or just meet f r iends ," he said.

As planned, the coffee house would offer more than just a place for students to gather. According to Galloway, it would also be a place where local talent, such as guitar players or folk singers, could perform. He explained, "There are quite a few possibili-ties. Students f rom the theater department have made films and the coffee house would be a good place to show them " Galloway also mentioned that it could spon-sor drama, lectures, or any other art, music or literature presenta-tions.

IN ADDITION to these bene-fits, a coffee house would also o f fe r opportuni t ies to s tudents interested in its management , ac-cording to Galloway. " I t could be established as an organization rather than a business, for exam-ple. That way people with an interest in running something like this could easily become in-volved."

Possible locations for the cof-fee house are the "passion p i t " in the basement of the DeWitt Cul-tural Center and/or the adjacent mechanical room.

What Galloway calls their "ideal p lan" would put it in both rooms with a half wall between the two. A wall would also sepa-rate the pit f rom the game room. A small stage would be at the wall farthest f rom the mechanical room with a "cof fee bar" at the back. DeYoung suggested a "doodle wall" where students could write or whatever.

One of the problems in setting up such a coffee house is finding the initial capital. The MOCP has offered a contr ibut ion and 'Dean DeYoung has suggested a student drive to help raise the money.

If plans for the coffee house succeed, it won' t be the first such establishment Hope has seen. Be-tween the elimination of the Kletz in Van Raalte and its refounding in the DWCC, Bill Stradter headed a successful coffee house in the basement of Durfee Hall.

Along with Gray's help. Gallo-ways ef for t s have been aided by sophomores Mike Atchley, Dave Dunning and Ginny Dick.

Galloway believes that such a venture would be welcomed by students looking for a more relax-ing and quiet a tmosphere than the Kletz.

'anchor' awarded First (Jass rating for last semester

The Associated Collegiate Press has awarded the anchor a first class rating for second semester of the 1972-73 school year.

Under the editorship of Peter Brown, and the assistant editor-ship of Dave DeKok and Paul Timmer, the anchor was also given a mark of distinction for excel-lence in editorial leadership.

The award was made after criti-cal evaluation by ACP's staff of professional journalists. The ACP is a national organization dedi-cated to promoting high standards among college and university newspapers.

Hollenbach reports

Rationale given for committee structure The Campus Life Board met

last Tuesday to hear Dr. John Hollenbach, professor of English, relate the rationale for the con-struction of the present commit-tee system. Hollenbach chaired the special commit tee that set up the system in 1968.

HOLLENBACH SAID that by 1968 the s tudent body had grown to twice its size since the last revision. He stated, " A t the time some of the old standing commit-tees were not working effectively; one had given up the ghost com-pletely and had requested that it be d iscont inued." Tension was created when an administrative team which questioned some of the assumptions of the old system by-passed the established proce-dures.

Hollenbach added, "Fur the r -more, the s tudents and faculty were pushing for a larger role in the decision-making process." He asserted tha t demands for more carefully defined procedures and for shortening the span between initiation of ideas and final action on policies were made .

HOLLENBACH SAID that under the old s t ructure the re-sponsibility for shaping and revis-ing the college commit tee pat tern was charged to the Administrative Commit tee . At a meeting of this

commit tee the "inevitable" hap-pened, a special ad hoc commit-tee was named to study the prob-lem and make recommendat ions .

Hollenbach stated that the Board of Trustees designated to the faculty the responsibility of deciding on the final form of programs so they will best support and p r o m o t e the ends of the college.

HOLLENBACH NOTED that the commit tee agreed with the con-cept laid down in the College Handbook tha t said " the re is a need for a careful delineation and delegation of authori ty to a seg-ment of the communi ty who shall have primary responsibility for policy formulat ion in areas fo r which they are best qualif ied; and for equally clear designation of administrative responsibility to in-dividuals and groups to carry out the broad policies of legislative bodies."

Hollenbach said that the com-mittee favored the broadening of responsibility to include no t only the facul ty, but all those who are part of the immediate college communi ty .

HE ADDED that the wisest decisions are insured by involving the members of the various seg-ments of t h e immediate college communi ty .

The commit tee , according to Hollenbach, also advised that for-mulation of policy be delegated to small groups acting in behalf of all. The faculty would still be the dominant factor in the formula-tion of policy but due to its cumbersome size policy could hardly be molded there.

He continued that the makeup and pat tern of t h e commit tees and boards that are responsible for policy formula t ion are there-fore very impor tan t .

According to Hollenbach, di-viding commit tees into three seg-ments , s tudents, facul ty, and ad-ministration, fo r representational purposes is wrong because it may tend t o polarize these groups into factions.

HE ALSO s tated that the com-mit tee recommended individuals f rom each of t h e segments be chosen according to their experi-ence and knowledge in the area of policy making of a particular com-mit tee. "The segment tha t is par-ticularly knowledgeable in an area should have a larger representa-tion on that commi t t ee , " he said. He cited the Campus Life Board as an example.

Representat ion on a commit tee should also be greater fo r the segment tha t is t o assume the largest role of leadership in devel-

oping or implementing the partic-ular program under the jurisdic-tion of that commit tee . Authori ty and responsibility, said Hollen-bach, should be bonded to the extent possible.

Finally, he noted that if the system operates properly there is no need for faculty review. But he also commented , "There is no perfect system, they all have their shortcomings but a variety of sys-tems will funct ion smoothly if the members of the college communi-ty are willing to work together ."

SCMC seeks new editor as Brown resigns position

The Student Communicat ions Media Commit tee announced that Peter Brown has resigned his posi-tion as anchor editor, effective Oct. 12.

Brown cited "academic rea-sons" and a desire to pursue other interests "outs ide the cosmic egg" as his rationale for resignation. Students interested in a p p h l n g for Ihe editorship should contact Associate Professor of Physics Dr. James Seeser, chai rman of the SCMC.

Two Hope College anchor October 5, 1973

Time for change Bob Dylan once wrote, "the times

they are-a-changin'." Evidently, Dylan never visited the anchor office at Hope College. Once again the editor of the anchor has resigned leaving the Student Communications Media Committee to seek another editor.

Although a crisis situation like the one last year does not exist, mainly due to a very competent central

anchor editorials

staff, if steps are not taken soon to alleviate the problem, the anchor will not survive many more resignations.

The editor and the associate ed-itors are plagued with three basic problems which recur year after year. The problems are financial, academic, and intellectual in nature. Financially the situation is intoler-able.

Working an average of over 35 hours per week, with deadline pres-sures and "all nighters" adding to the weekly hassle, $300 per semester for the editor and $200 or even less for the associate editors is just insuf-ficient renumeration. When one real-izes that resident advisors receive $250 per semester, and for the most part do nothing, the situation for the anchor staffers is even more unfair.

Academically, the editors are forced to take light loads, and even then don't have the time to ade-quately prepare for the classes they do have. A t some time in their college careers they will be forced to make up for the lost credits. In addition to the extra grind of carry-ing a heavy load for a couple of semesters, courses must be paid for twice.

If an editor were to take 12 hours, and 14 for a few semesters during his assistant editorship, he would have to attend Hope for an extra semester, at a cost that some-times is more than all the money he made during his stint working for the anchor.

In a liberal arts college students should ideally be pursuing a variety of academic challenges. Unfortunate-ly, when the newspaper demands so many hours of time every week, studying for courses becomes an effort instead of an enjoyment. Al-though there is admittedly a lot to learn by running a college news-paper, many of the tasks are drudg-ery.

There also comes a time when you've accomplished everything that one can on the paper, and the once labor of love, becomes merely put-ting in time. This is particularly true of people who have spent a few years working their way up the ranks. While initially the anchor can pro-vide intellectual and personal growth, it can often times propigate stagnation.

Specifically, we recommend the following program to insure the con-tinued excellence of the anchor as a college paper. Instead of increased financial reward, in addition to the

$300, the college should award the editor nine hours of credit in the communications department.

In the past such a proposal was opposed because it threatened the autonomy of the anchor. The inde-pendence of the anchor could be maintained if a grade were given after a review of the semester's work. The nine hours would be an indepen-dent study.

Likewise, associate editors could receive six hours of independent study. With the anchor reporters receiving no credit and doing more work than journalism students, who receive three hours of credit, a coor-dination between the anchor and journalism classes ought to be exam-ined. It's about time the college stopped taking advantage of high-spirited students who are willing to involve themselves in academic, but outside the classroom activities.

It is very possible to maintain the autonomy of the anchor and give the staff deserved credit. If the college sanctifies the motto: "Never do to-day what you can put off ti l l tomor-row," then the time will come when there is no more anchor.

Viva coffee grounds The coffee house proposed by Stu

Galloway would meet a need which has long gone unmet at Hope. The college offers little for students who have a few hours to kill. Some of the alternatives include boob tubing oneself to death in the dormitory lounge, winning a "free" game on the pinball machines or making the routine run to Skiles.

Students need a place on-campus where they can relax under soft lights amid comfortable surround-j ings. They need a place where they can display their talents-musical,

artistic and literary—in a loose at-mosphere where they can escape the pressures of college life.

The differences between the Kletz and coffee house atmospheres may seem indistinguishable at first. But a coffee house would meet a different need. In addition to providing a place for students to display their talent, it would serve as an alterna-tive to the sometimes boisterous socializing in the Kletz.

Hope has lacked such an establish-ment since 1970, when fire regula-tions caused the closing of the suc-cessful "Coffee Grounds." The atten-dance at "the Grounds" indicated the popularity of a coffee house on the campus.

We support Galloway's plan which would utilize the currently dormant "passion p i t " and the adja-cent mechanical room. A coffee

ihouse could bring some life to the now underused Cultural Center base-ment.

"East is East and West is West, and never the twain shall meet,/ Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God's great Judgment Seat ."

- R u d y a r d Kipling, The Ballad of East and West.

Looking at the vast differences in thought and life that he saw between Asia and Europe, Kipling concluded that the two were totally irreconcilable. He saw no hope of ever relating the temper of the East to the world of Western thought .

YET THE TRUTH of this prophecy was being undermined even as Kipling penned it, for East and West have indeed encoun-tered each other in a decisive manner. It has been aptly stated that the East is still the East, but the West is no longer itself. Rather, the West is lost in a stormy sea of spiritual poverty, and is seeking a home port in the East.

A quick glance at the climate of opinion of the West will show the extent to which Western man is seeking light f rom the East. Hare Krishna monks, robed in saffron, stand chanting and swaying on the street corners of almost every major American city.

GEORGE HARRISON records a Hare Krishna song, "My Sweet Lord ," which rockets t o the top of the popularity charts. Transcendental Meditation is called by Time magazine " the fastest-growing cult in the West." The oriental occult f loods the West with I Ching, Tarot and superstition.

This interest in the East is not on an entirely popular level. The last two cen-turies have seen the flowering of Western scholarly interest in Eastern ways of thought and life.

MODERN EXISTENTIALISM owes an enormous debt to Buddhism; depth psy-chologists like Carl Jung, musicians of the stature of Richard Wagner and John Cage, and o ther leaders of opinion have ex-pressed their own indebtedness to the East. The recent Western world has truly proved to be fertile soil for the garden of Eastern thought.

Exactly what is the character of " the East?" The name itself is deceptive, for this label implies that the East is a homogenous entity, well-defined and of a single essence. Of course, the real East is very few of these; as a result of its own inclusivistic assumptions, it is a bewildering maze of puzzles, riddles and contradictions.

STILL, THERE is one over-arching goal of Eastern thought which marks it as

distinct f rom the West. The goal of almost every Eastern fai th and philosophy is to rid oneself of the illusion of the world and personal existence. This world-flight is the essence of man's salvation in the East's thought .

By contrast , all Western faiths, and especially the Judeo-Christian faith, are world-affirming. They hold t o the reality and original goodness of all creation, in-cluding the wor th of the human being as a person, and therefore teach the worth and efficacy of moral effor t in this life.

A TELLING example of the gulf be-tween East and West is the current applica-tion, in some quarters, of Eastern theories of nature and ecology to pollution in the West. Mistakenly convinced that the Judeo-Christian views of nature and man is responsible for the ravaging of nature, many dissidents have turned to Eastern views of nature for the solution to this problem. Aldous Huxley said in 1962, "Elementary ecology leads straight to ele-mentary Buddhism."

Yet this search for Eastern answers to Western problems will never be successful; it is not an honest facing-up to the prob-lem, but rather an escape f rom the prob-lem. No system which holds that the physical world is illusory and desires to flee existence will speak with integrity to the problems of this world.

IT IS NO coincidence that Mahatma Gandhi had to turn to the Sermon on the Mount, with its Christian presuppositions on the reality of the world, for the impetus to carry out social reform in India.

In conclusion, Kipling's conception of East and West can be called true in one importartt sense. Although the lines of m o d e m Western and ancient Eastern thought have dovetailed to a great extent, the basic, fundamenta l assumptions of Eastern and Western thought are still wide-ly separated. In the last analysis, world-flight cannot be reconciled with world-aff irmation. East will never meet West in presuppositions.

It is my conviction tha t the needless intellectual and spiritual bankruptcy of the modern West will be best remedied by a return t o a vital, dynamic, Biblical faith. The problems of personal, social and eco-logical pollution will never be met by merely calling them illusions. Only when Western man faces up to his t rue spiritual problems will a reborn Christian West begin to tackle this world 's evils.

Dolls succeed at basic 'punk' rock, Stones fail Editor's note: This week's anchor record review is written by WTAS Music Director Bill DeBlock. He reviews The New York Dolls by the New York Dolls and Goats Head Soup by the Rolling Stones, their new albums.

The rock music of the 60 , s came f rom bands that are now either household words or forgot-ten. Where did tha t music come f rom?

THE BEATLES started in Ger-many, playing to small c rowds in cellars of bars. The Stones, Ani-mals, Troggs, Yardbirds and many others started in much the same way, playing to c rowds of less than 200 packed in to small s teamy rooms called clubs and dancing themselves silly.

Music back then was basic. The band stood on a make-shif t stage and played loud rock and roll to make the small room ring and keep the crowd bouncing. Music provided good times for the crowds but also was a happy moving experience for the band. The band played simply . . . no elaborate arrangements, no key-board wizards, no moog synthesi-zers . . . no nothing,* jus t "brass t acks" basic rock.

THE EARLY 70*8 f inds some of the bands of the 60 ' s f lounder-ing in their success and money and wondering why. Why? Je thro Tull bored their fans on their last tour . Humble Pie can ' t even sell out a house, and Yardbirds survi-vors Eric Clapton and J immy Page don ' t seem to like appearing in public.

Artists tha t helped make rock what it is have ei ther abandoned their fans a f t e r getting rich quick or have cont inued to rip off the public by making inferior LP's. 1973 seems to be the year of the lemon as far as big name groups are concerned.

F O R EXAMPLE, witness these: Eat It, by Humble Pie, Passion Play, by Je thro Tull and Procal Harum with Grand Hotel. •Nuff said.

Why do these inferior products come f rom these supposed stars? I believe these bands have lost touch with what people want by

playing to large houses where they are total ly isolated f r o m tha t human element in rock . . . the crowd.

ANY ACTION taken will usu-ally cause a reaction and so music buffs are again looking to small, steamy, clubs for a source of pulse and direction in 1973. Small clubs in New York City like the Oscar Wilde R o o m at the Mercer Street Arts Center and Max's Kansas City are providing the place to dance, and new bands like the New York Dolls are providing the good vibrations. The music is again "Brass Tacks" rock and the crowds are loving it and dancing themselves silly again.

Maybe rock music is just young kid " p u n k " music. The f lounder-ing of bands like the Rolling Stones is perhaps because Mick Jagger just can ' t be a 30 year-old " p u n k " but lead " D o l l " David Jo Hansen at age 19 is. Hansen fits the image perfectly as he struts the stage and belts the songs out . Punks never go out of style and this new salvo of " p u n k i t u d e " may be just what rock needs.

THE DOLLS' new album is just plain rock! If you have a weak s tomach don ' t look at the cover, which is a trip into the transexual experience f r o m Avon lipstick and high-heel clogs to Schlitz beer. ( I t ' s definitely not your average "Hi we're the band. See our neat p ic ture ," album cov-er.)

The f ive piece band consists of lead Doll Hansen singing, backed up by Johnny Thunders and- Syl-vain Sylvain on guitars, Ar thur Harold Kane on bass and Jerry Nolan on drums. Nolan is new to the Dolls, joining them af ter the original d rummer Billy Murcia died in late 1972 while the band was touring.

THE DOLLS ' first album is appropriately dedicated to the memory of Billy Doll. Mercury Records should be congratulated for signing the Dolls. Why? Mer-cury was the only company tha t had the guts to take this contro-versial group and let them record so that music of this kind will be heard in Billings, Montana, as well as New York City.

'Opus' to sponsor

poetry reading

in Studio Theater The Opus board is sponsoring a

poetry reading on Wednesday, Oct. 10, at 8 :30 p.m. in the studio theatre. Three facul ty members will be reading: Stephen Hemen-way, assistant professor of En-glish, Nancy Taylor , assistant pro-fessor of English, and Alan Bedell, assistant professor of German. They will be reading their own works and the writings of o ther poets.

F rom the opening of side one, the Dolls take off in to unadul-terated rock wi th Hansen up f ron t shout ing "Personali ty Crisis," at the top of his lungs. When I listened to the record for the first t ime 1 had weird thoughts about what the group sounded like . . . could it be a super group contain-ing the Rolling Stones doing a regression along with the bizarre-ness of Alice Cooper and David Bowie along for the ride in drag?

CUT TWO STARTS with the call (a la Shangri-La's) "You best believe" I'm lovin ' . fo r - l o v e , , M J - V ! " and " looking for a kiss." How cute, a love song!

There 's more rock on side one but the immorta l song to remem-ber is "F rankens te in" (this defi-nitely is not Edgar Winter) ending with the bizarre s tatement "Could you ever make it with a Franken-s te in?" This song seems to be a personal s ta tement f rom the Dolls to the world because they ' re so " c u t e " but they are monsters!

SIDE TWO is a rocker also. It brings scenes t o mind of 1961 Chevies and high school proms but in a new and twisted perspec-tive. The best cuts are "T ra sh" and " S u b w a y . "

All the songs on the album were writ ten by the band and engineered by the master of the control-room Todd Rundgren, who did a good job of making a band that may not be all that perfect sound perfect .

ALL ALONG I've talked about the parallel between "Doll ies" and Stones but now any semblance is over. Goat's Head Soup, the new Rolling Stone release is just start-ing to hit the record stores in quanti t ies all across the land and I 'm just wondering why.

Rolling Stones Records made one of two errors: either they named the record wrong because the music on it seemed to come

f rom the rectal end of the goat or two, that the album when boiled with parsely, carrots and pota toes made nutr i t ious soup. (Don ' t t ry , it does not work, and $4.99 is an awful lot of money to experiment with!)

ALL KIDDING aside, the al-bum is bad. The fidelity of this album makes it sound as if it were recorded in some alley down in Georgia and the quali ty of the recording job makes it sound like a bootleg ( the jacket tells us that it isn't but rather that the album "is a new r eco rd -beware of re-packaging." I doubt it.)

The music is bad. Outside of "Ang ie" on side one and "Sta r Star" and "Silver T ra in" on side two, the Stones seem to have lost that feeling that made them our darlings in the 60's.

SIDE ONE OPENS with a rock and boogie song called "Dancing with Mr. D." Now, rock and boogie is the Stones' music but somehow the feeling is not there, maybe the Stones ought to s top fooling themselves. " 1 0 0 Years Ago" shines as a bright tune on this side but not because of the music but rather Billy Preston's clarinet playing and a brief Keith Richards guitar solo.

"Coming Down Again" is a mellow tune but what else can be said. . . . Are the Stones a mellow band? " D o o D o o D o o D o o (Heart-breaker)" is faintly reminiscent of several tunes f rom Exile on Main Street but maybe that is because of Billy Preston's influence (he plays piano). "Angie ," a superior mellow ballad, ends the side. A song like this almost makes it worth the wait of 17 minutes.

SIDE TWO PROMISES much in the way of d isappointment also. So, if you have other things to do, make sure that you hear "Silver Train ," (selection one, side two) and then split. "Silver Tra in"

features all the exci tement of a Jagger-belted vocal, boogie piano slide guitar, and just get up and shake music, so dig it.

"Hide Your Love," almost sounds like a faster version of "You Got to Move," a la Sticky Fingers, while "Winter" sounds like "Moonlight Mile" f rom the same album, just reworked a little bit.

"CAN YOU HEAR the Music," is not bad but it gets a bit monotonous , almost like listening to a jackhammer for three hours. This song seems like the final five minutes of boredom, but hold1

o n - t h e r e is one more. Did you ever hear a rock band

play a lousy concert but then do a dynamite encore? "Star S tar ," ends side two in much that fash-ion. The feeling is there and the good vibes roll, but where were these vibes when the rest of the album was recorded? I can only wonder.

THE STONES album is just like an empty feeling; it promises a lot but never seems to deliver on that promise. Billy Preston and Nicky Hopkins try their best to pep up what seems to be a dying band but the combinat ion only seems to work on two songs.

The Stones are still a band that carries much weight in the rock music field but they are definitely not a " p u n k " band any more and that is what they are still trying to be. 1 will always remember the Rolling Stones for what they did to rock music with songs like "Gimme Shelter ," "Street Fighting Man," and "Sat-isfact ion," but I hate to think of the Rolling Stones as a mellow rock band.

As for the New York Dolls and all that follow in their foots teps 1 wish them luck and hope that in the great Stones tradit ion, " p u n k " rock will live forever!

Panties pilfered

Hope s tudents shouldn ' t tolerate being called "Hope i t e s " anymore than Parisians should tolerate being called Parisites. " H o p e i t e " sounds like some kind of worthless mineral. From now on I'm calling myself a Hopi. If Hopi becomes popular we can call our sports teams the Indians.

Last Thursday at 2 a.m., 60 men broke into Gilmore Hall and started a panty collection. The parade of pan ty raiders was halted when a girl ( identif ied only as " t he karate lady") floored four of the trespassers with roundhouse kicks.

An unidentif ied Flying Dutchman saved the festivities f rom disaster when he cleared the karate lady f rom the hall with a devastating shoulder block. The IFC has disavowed any knowledge of the raiders' actions.

The "rides wan ted" signs on the walls in Phelps insult the aesthetically educated eye. Someone erected a small billboard just to get a ride to Zeeland. A girl named Nanooka posted a particu-

larly outrageous cardboard sign: "Wanted: ride to Nome or Yukon area. Will share expenses. Any weekend is O.K."

Denis on gridders victorious; turnovers cost Dutch unn

Hope failed to capitalize on two opportuni t ies to win last Sat-urday when an untimely fumble cost them the needed points for a victory.

The final game before confer-ence play left the Flying Dutch-men with a 1-2 record. Hope lost to Denison 26-18.

Hope's • first score was prompted when Jim VanderMeer recovered a Denison fumble . Five plays later tailback Ed Sanders went around end for a 20-yard touchdown. Hope's second TD came when Jim Carlson crossed the goal-line on a two yard option play.

Bob Miller booted two field goals for the Dutch, both of these coming f rom 23 yards out .

HOPE WAS stopped three times while within the Denison five yard line. The first a t tempt was thwarted when ,the ball was fumbled on the three. Then an interception was thrown in the end zone and finally time ran out in the first half to ruin any threat of a score.

Carlson had one of his best days at quarterback, hitting six

out of ten passes he threw for 92 yards. Carlson was intercepted twice, one a fluke that was t ipped off a receiver's hand for the inter-ception.

SANDERS HAD his third con-secutive 100 yard or better perfor-mance for Hope gaining 133 yards in 30 carries. Chuck Brooks picked up 61 yards in 18 a t t empts and Carlson had 81 yards in 13 tries.

Co-captain Gerrit Crandall was moved f rom his linebacking posi-tion to offensive guard, where according to coach Ray Smith , he did a good job. Freshman Bob Coleman started at wingback in place of the sick Gary Constant and did an "ou t s t and ing" job. Coleman caught two passes for a total of 34 yards. Another f rosh, Dave Teeter received three passes for 54 yards.

FRANK GUCKER will be playing this Saturday in place of Duff DeZwaan who injured his knee against Denison.

This Saturday Hope will host Alma College for their first MIAA contest . The game will be played at Riverview Stadium at 2 : 0 0 p.m.

For those of you who did not know, the soccer team has become the third most popular spectator sport at Hope. After years of lackadaisical follow-ing, the team is finally getting the recognition it deserves.

AFTER A SLOW start, the team is beginning to unify. Lacking many of the veterans that were on last year 's championship team, the precision passes and teamwork have been slow in coming. But coach Glenn Van Wieren's booters have come a long way in a short time.

Though improving with each game, Hope lost their first two matches when they could not even buy a break. Mistakes by the defense gave Oakland University several unearned goals. Against Purdue Calumet the offense clicked and scored four goals.

LAST SATURDAY, the team traveled to Lake Forest and defeated the toughest team they will meet this season, 1-0. The team had everything together, especially the passes. Goalie Bob Luidens was superb in blocking 23 shots on goal.

Hope's lone goal was scored as Bill McAndrew executed a perfect cross-field pass to Glenn Swier. This sort of teamwork is what the team has been striving for in these early games.

MEMBERS OF Hope's soccer team, or any soccer team for that matter , have to be in fantastic physical shape. The game consists of two 45 minute halves. These halves are played continuously with no time-outs allowed.

Van Wieren pointed out how much different this is from football , where a recent survey taken of collegiate football games showed only nine to ten minutes of actual play. Substi tutions are allowed in soccer, but only af ter a goal has been scored, an injury incurred, or if the ball leaves the end of the playing field.

HOPE PLAYS in a 4-3-3 format ion . This means there are three lines of players, fullbacks, halfbacks, and forwards. The four fullbacks are on a line directly in f ront of the goalie. Their responsibility is defense.

The halfbacks form the second line and they have a dual purpose. When the opposit ion gets the ball the halfbacks are the first players to form a defense. When they get the ball back, they have to shoot a pass down to a forward. Forwards have primarily offensive funct ions. The three of them do the majori ty of the scoring.

THE FIELD THAT the game is played on measures 110 by 65 yards. The lines on the side are

Baubles, Bangles and Beads...

called touch lines, while those at the ends of the field are the goal lines.

The first line, the fullbacks, consists of Kurt Avery, Wes Wilhelmsen, Bill Lawton and Bill Dyrston. Halfbacks are Glenn Swier, Francis Kamin-ski and Bill McAndrew. Playing forward are Mark Van Voorst , Mahmood Masghati and John Clough.

T H E R E WERE only seven returning players f rom last years team. Six of these were letter winners, and four of these six were mentioned on one of the All-MIAA teams. VanVoorst was first team all conference, while co-captain Swier was named to the second team. Co-captain Avery and Kaminski were bo th named honorable mention players.

This year's golf team, which looked promising at the start of the season, has once again fallen into the role of the spoiler. With a standing of 1-2 in the conference, their chances of winning a champion-ship are just about nil.

THIS YEAR'S team is composed of captain Mark Dargene, Jim Wojcicki, Jeff Riemersma, Tom Swit-zer, and Kurt Pugh. One big advantage they have is that this year 's tournament is to be played at Hope 's home course at Clearbrook Country Club.

Having played the course, all I can say is, good luck. The only possible home course advantage may be that the Hope golfers will have had the oppor tu-nity to find out where most of the places are that tend to eat golf balls.

Speaking f rom a purely prejudiced point of view, the Fraternal Society will walk away with the intramural football championship a f te r they beat the Arkies in their game this coming Monday.

With a record of 0-1 in predictions, here is what will happen against Alma on Saturday. Hope will, as usual, domina te the statistics, but will most likely make a number of costly mistakes, such as fumbl ing the ball. Alma is a tough team and they capitalize on their opponents ' mistakes. Prediction for Satur-day, . . . Alma 21-Hope 7.

VanWylen, area college presidents to appear on TV

"Today ' s College: The Presi-dents Speak," a WGVC-TV pro-gram of discussion among college presidents of Aquinas, Calvin, Hope and Grand Valley State, will be broadcast Tuesday, Oct. 9, at 8 :30 p .m. on UHF Channel 35 .

Those taking part are Presi-dents, Norbert J. Hruby, Aquinas College; William Spoelhof , Calvin College; Arend D. Lubbers , Grand Valley State Colleges; and Gor-don VanWylen, Hope College. Moderator will be Gerald Ell iott , former chief editorial writer with the Grand Rapids Press, presently a member of the communica t ions staff of GVSC.

Hope's own $330 ,000 version of HAL should be in complete operation by Jan. 1, 1974. The newly-acquired Xerox Sigma 6 computer , which replaces the old IBM 1130, will be housed on the ground floor of the Physics-Math building.

PURCHASED WITH an educa-tional discount, the new computer is being f inanced at six percent f rom Xerox. Outside contribu-tions have also helped to finance the new machine.

Harriers whiz by Alma Scots 18-40,

take MIAA lead Hope defeated Alma College

18-40 Wednesday in their first conference cross-country match of the season.

Junior Phil Ceeley took the number one position after running the course in 25 :09 . Glenn Powers came in second, and Stuart Scholl finished next to complete a sweep of the first three places. Marty Stark and Kim Spalsbury com-pleted the race f i f th and seventh places respectful ly. Nick Kramer and Randy Lawrence came in eighth and tenth .

The next meet for Hope 's Har-riers will be the GLCA meet at DePauw University. The next home meet will be against Kala-mazoo.

The Sigma 6, a much larger and more efficient machine than the IBM 1130, has roughly eight times the word capacity of its predeces-

sor and 16 times as much core storage.

The new compute r also has an advantage in disk storage, boasting a storage area 30 t imes greater than the IBM 1130. The Sigma 6 also claims a magnetic tape unit which keeps informat ion used in sequence.

NUMEROUS computer lan-guages are employed by the Xerox machine, including For t ran com-pilers, Cobal, Basic, RPG, Assem-bly language and APL. These lan-guages translate informat ion on cards to a code comprehensible by the machine.

A variety of programs are used by the new compute r including electric circuit debugging and statistical package.

THE ADMINISTRATION makes primary use of the com-puter, especially in the printing of mailing labels to repor t grades. Although most s tudent use of the computer comes f rom the science, math and psychology depart-ments, any qualified s tudent is free to use it. The computer ' s services are also open to high school s tudents and local business firms.

Small compute r terminals are planned which will permit fu tu re use of the Xerox machine f rom several locations on campus.

Western Michigan edges out Hope booters in 2-1 battle

On Wednesday Hope 's soccer team dropped its match with Western Michigan University 2-1.

Hope 's only goal came with 30 minutes elapsed in the first half. Mark VanVoors t scored in a one-on-one match against WMU's goal-ie. In the second half Hope goalie

f rom the net , allowing Western to score.

Western's second goal came midway in the second half on a picture book kick f r o m 30 yards out . The ball sailed in to the upper right-hand corner of the net un-touched.
